By Seminary Students

Episode 22

In Stereo Where Avalible

How the hell is that any different than normal sound?

Outside in the hall, a group of Elites stood at the one end of the hall, currently engaging the Marines, and some other soldier in the dark that the Gang couldn't see. But, the problem was the fact that two giagantic Hunters were standing just outside the airduct, and stood between the Gang the corridor to the escape pods.

"Hey!" the intire group jumped Jon was behind them carrying a pack with a big red cross on it. "richard." jon whispered giving him an assault rifle and a complement of grenades. "Brian, trade you." Jon gave him an assualt rifle as well and brian handed back the pistol. "and the piece de la resistance" handed a shotgun to kaitlin.

"Whoa." she regurded it carfully.

"Just in case some one gets a little too close."

"Jon, we have a problem." Richard stated leaning to show jon the hunters and the crowd of elites.

"Oh. Well glad I brought this." Jon heafted the missle launcher putting it down he attended to Kenzi. reached into the bag to bring out a shot looking thing along with a little green needle. He looked down at her, "this is going to sting." then shoved the gun into her right arm and pulled the triggor, Kenzi winced then sighed.

"Thanks."

"No problem. Think you can work this?" Jon gave her the R.L.

Richard turned to Jon. "You think'n what I'm think'n?"

"Ambush?"

"Yeah!"

"Alright. Now Kaitlin take her out side a little down the hall and wait, Brian and Richard you need to get their attention right off the bat. I am going to go in behind and try to-." Jon had stopped looking at the floor, Richard followed his gaze. A bright blue glob was sitting on the floor next to his foot. "MOVE!"

Richard and Kaitlin grabbed Kenzi and dodged into the hall, while Brian and Jon ducked further into the duct system. "RAAAH!" a war cry sounded from the hall as grunts began to pour in. Jon picked himself off the floor and fired the pistol. the first shot went wild ricohing into a grun with a squek he fell on to the floor his trigger finger twitching and taking out the grunt infront of him. Jon looked at his foot the R.L. Kenzi had was at his foor. Jon picked it up peeked out of the vent system and fired. The rocket zoomed smashed into one of the hunters and sent him flying the other hunter in shock an anger began to rush at the death of his bonded mate. With a massive swing of his shield, he sent the little doors blocking the entrance flying.

"I think he's trying to get in here." Jon said looking at a curiose angle on his head.

"Naw, he cant fit." brian said looking at the massive hunter shuffle backwards a little. "If were in halo do you think we respawn?"

"I dont know." Jon then looked up at the hunter again, it was charging. "Are you sure he cant-" BOOM Jon eyes went wide.

"HE CAN FIT! HE CAN FIT!" Jon turned and ran pushing brian out of the way, unfortunatly into the hunter. with a sicking crack Brian was sent form view. Jon turned and ran further into the duct sytem. The he head the beebs.

BEEB, BEEB, BEEEEBBB, and in a flash of light brian was standing infront of him. "Well I'll be damned we do!"

CRACK!

A sniper shot tour straight into the Hunter, sending orange goop everywhere as the beast collapsed on the ground in a heap. Outside, a green armor-clad soldier ran by, snipe rifle in hand. Kenzi's mouth dropped wide.

"We just got saved by the Chief."

They all winced as a shotgun round went off. Kaitlin cocked it awkwardly, shoving another round in, and firing it as the camoflaughed Elite became visible in front of them. The others quickly raised their assorted collection of human weapons, and finished off the alien warrior.

"That was close," Jon remarked.

For a moment their addrennaline kept them abuzz, but eventually they noticed the unusual silence outside the vent.

"More Spec Op Elites?" Richard pondered.

Jon shook his head. "Worse."

The Gang stepped out into the gore covered deck, looking up and down the corridor at the bodies and destruction. A few warning klaxons blazed in the distance. The fight had clearly moved on.

"Well, well, well, To the escape pods!" Brian chimed.

Jon took one of Kenzi's arms around his shoulder, helping her run forward on her bad leg. They passed through an open chamber, with a ramp and staircase in the middle that they took up to a second floor. More bodies were strewn about, both Covenant and Marine. Down another set of corridors, they were surprised to find that they were back at the very hall they started in.

Only this time, instead of just Threshold and Halo outside the windows, there were also flame trails as the Escape Pods bursted out of the hull of the ship. The whole ship rocked, and everyone temporarily lost balance.

"Now would be a very good time to MOVE!" Kenzi urged.

She practically pulled Jon along as they rushed around the last corner in time to see a helpless Marine get scooped into the last pod by the hand of a big soldier. The doors closed, but Brian and Richard went up and started banging on the side.

"Wait, wait! We're still out heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!"

A sonic boom, another shudder, and the pod was gone.

"Well that just sucks," remarked Jon.
